I was spotted by the big guy in Ping An Jing

Hitomi Kuwashima: "..."

The moment she heard that name, her heart jumped.

Before Tamamo...

Is he still there, how is he doing.

No wonder the appearance of Fox Village has changed. It should be because Yuzao became Nine Tails, and the status of the entire ethnic group has improved.

What Tu Shan said before was correct, Yu Zaoqian seemed indifferent, but in fact he cared a lot about Yizu.

"Master Yuzao is now in Tianhu Pavilion."

For some reason, people in Fox Village seem to be a little more afraid when they mention Yuzao now, while respecting him as before.Even mentioning this name, the body could not help but tremble slightly.

It was like encountering some terrible creature.

"That's great. If Master Seimei said, Master Tamamo-mae should be willing to meet..."

In the dark, Hitomi Kuwashima frowned.

What did Tamamo-mae look like now?

Hitomi Kuwashima came here this time because he wanted to take this opportunity to investigate the secret sect of Fox Village.

It has been confirmed before that Fox Village is related to ghosts.

At this moment, she was caught in the struggle of "should I go to Tianhu Pavilion" again.

While spurning herself, she quietly followed Abe Seimei to Tianhu Pavilion.

Hitomi Sangshima, Hitomi Sangshima, you will fall into the hands of this man for the rest of your life... Ah bah, it's not even a man, it's a male fox!

Ouch, just take one look, one look!

The closer it is to Tianhu Pavilion, the deserted it will be, and the fewer monsters will come and go.

Occasionally, you can see monsters who bring gifts to pay tribute, but return in vain.

Hitomi Kuwashima heard the movement and hurriedly hid in the dark.

I don't think that the agility and speed I learned will be used in this kind of place one day...

"I still haven't been able to see Tamamo-mae-sama this time..."

"Nine-tailed celestial fox can see it whenever it wants to."

"Master Yuzao is now the most powerful demon in the demon world, can compete with the gods, and has a moody temper."

"He has done things like burning the Heian capital twice. Can ordinary monsters do it... And, I heard that he killed a god more than 100 years ago."

"I heard that he is not close to women at all. Everyone doubts whether he is frigid or hates women. Mermaid clan, you know, the princess of that clan is recognized as the pinnacle of beauty in the demon world. , were all rejected.”

"I've heard of this too. It seems that she sneaked into the bed of Master Yuzao, and was almost killed... I heard that Master Yuzao looked very scary at that time."

Gossip exists in any world.

From it, Hitomi Kuwashima got two pieces of information:

[-]. Tamamo-mae is very strong now, but very cold and has a strange temper. (By the way, wasn't he weird before his temper.)

[-]. Tamamomae doesn't like women.

Hearing this, he was secretly a little happy.It can be understood that Yuzao couldn't forget her before... However, it sounded even more stimulated by her, and since then she didn't even touch women, covering her face.

But when that emotion passed and she calmed down, she still hoped that Yuzao could live a happy life.

……

Tianhu Pavilion.

Hitomi Kuwashima quietly poked his head out from the corner of the corridor.Abe Seimei was standing at the door, talking to someone before he went in.

It sounded like a girl's voice, and it sounded like my own... What's the matter, didn't it mean that Yuzao didn't get close to women before?

"Sorry, Tamamo-mae-sama doesn't want to meet anyone."

Because of the angle, Hitomi Kuwashima couldn't see who the girl who spoke was.

"Even me?" Abe Seimei asked.

In front of him, the girl nodded.

Abe Seimei sighed helplessly, took out the folding fan and shook it, "What if... I found the information about the girl who disappeared for more than 100 years."

Before the girl could speak, a deep voice came from inside: "Come in."

At that moment, Hitomi Kuwashima felt as if an electric current was running through his whole body, and then he was walking in the coolness of winter.

The voice was clearly familiar to her, but the timbre was much colder. The feeling of irritable, youthful and frivolous in the past was completely gone, and it was deep and unrecognizable.

"Tamamo-mae, your actions are a bit unreasonable," Abe Seimei said, and walked in. "If I didn't bring her news, wouldn't you even see me?"

The big demon inside didn't answer him, but said: "It's Uncle."

Abe Seimei: "..."

Shut my nephew out, thank you for knowing that you are my uncle.

When the door is closed, the sound becomes inaudible.

...Is it time to leave, there is still business to do.

Even though I was thinking this way, my footsteps seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and I couldn't move half a cent.

It's all here, and I heard the voice, so why not... just take another look.

Just take a look.

Hitomi Kuwashima tiptoed to the door and poked a hole in the papery place with his fingertips.

Now Yuzao is not as powerful as before, so he has to be extra careful.

She looked through the hole—

First of all, I can only see the lower position, which is Abe Seimei with his back to this side.

Moving up the line of sight, there is a big resplendent and resplendent couch, and the hem of the cloth.This person should be Tamamo-mae.

The clothes used to be worn by Yu Zaoqian were the same as his own, gorgeous and majestic, with a hint of arrogance that could not be concealed.But now his clothes are dark purple, like a dark night, or an abyss, and he is also full of pendants.

The nails are also long and pointed, and they are painted purple... Hey, are you going to develop into a delinquent boy?

The hole is too small, even if he tried his best to find the angle, Hitomi Kuwashima couldn't see Tamamo-mae's face, only the sharp chin.But it seems that it is much more mature than before.

The couch position is higher than the place where the guests sit.

When talking with Abe Seimei, Tamamomae was holding a fan on his knee with one hand, and with the other hand... holding a small white hand next to him.The whole time I was talking to him, I didn't let go.

There was someone standing beside Tamazamo, judging by her figure and clothes, it was a girl.

Can't hear their conversation.

……who is it? ? ?

At this moment, in the room, Abe Seimei's attention was also shifted to this girl, looking at the two holding hands, his expression was difficult to express.

"how?"

The nine-tailed celestial fox in the upper seat glanced at him lightly.The tails of the eyes are long and narrow, slightly raised, and it seems to have the magic power to attract all things with just one glance.

"do you have any opinion."

Abe Seimei propped his forehead with a fan, "Tamamo-san, why do you lie to yourself like this."

That girl is no longer there, since she disappeared from Horikawa on that thunderstorm night in Kyoto.

He and Yuzao searched for more than 100 years but failed to find anyone.

Looking up, the girl standing next to Yuzao, although she looks the same as a real person, can only do what Yuzao asks, does not have her own thinking, and is... not a human being.

"..." Yu Zaoqian remained silent, and only gently stroked the delicate skin on the back of the girl's hand with her fingers.

Then he raised his hand, and the girl's body disappeared, turning into a broken sword and falling into his palm.

Seeing this scene, Hitomi Kuwashima almost exclaimed.

——That was clearly the broken sword she left behind after the battle with Kibu Tsuji!

At that time, there was no time to take it away. After returning to Taisho, I asked a swordsmith to make it again, and it is now tied around her waist.

Was the broken knife picked up by Yuzao...

He was the one who found Horikawa that night...

From this point of view, that girl was probably her too.

"..." Hitomi Kuwashima was in a complicated mood, and his heart was slightly sour.

That stupid fox...

Really treat her...

Didn’t you say it yourself, if you want someone who can’t get it, then you should find someone else!

Hitomi Kuwashima thought for a while, if Tamazama really found someone else, he would probably feel uncomfortable seeing it... But it won't be as uncomfortable as it is now, and there will be a feeling of relief... Hey, what am I thinking? .

An untimely thought popped up——

#After breaking up, what should I do if my ex-boyfriend bought my real-life skills? ! #

"..."

Delete delete, delete this sentence!

Time to leave.

Hitomi Kuwashima moved his steps, as if he knew that if he stayed any longer, things would become uncontrollable.

Looking back reluctantly, she jumped down from the Tianhu Pavilion and ran towards the secret sect.

……

inside the house.

"I'm so stupid." Yu Zaoqian looked at the broken sword body, and the words [Evil Ghost Killer] curled his lips in self-deprecating manner.

As early as when Hitomi Sang Dao rescued him, there were these four words on the bandaged handkerchief.

He didn't take it seriously.

Before Hitomi disappeared, he realized what she was really carrying.

"It's been more than 100 years, and you should let it go," Abe Seimei said.

Yuzaoqian usually shows no signs of happiness or anger, and his whole person is bottomless, without waves or waves.Only when Hitomi Kuwashima is mentioned, there will be mood swings.

Abe Seimei knew that the girl Tamamoen loved had saved Tamazamo, her own parents, helped an onmyoji, killed ghosts in Heianjing, and protected everyone in the capital.

But these things are only clear to a few of them.

"I didn't expect such creatures to exist in Heianjing."

ghost.

After Hitomi Kuwashima left, before Tamamo, who found out about the incident, burned all the blue Higan flowers inside and outside the demon world.

Tianhu Ge Ye turned into a human form, and found Abe Masaki to repay his favor.The two fell in love for a long time and gave birth to Abe Seimei.

Tamamo, who was a nine-tailed celestial fox, often came to see Xiao Qingming (nicknamed "Douzimaru" at that time), and insisted that he call himself uncle.

During that time, Seimei Abe often heard the name Hitomi Kuwashima from his mother and Tamamo, and the atmosphere was very heavy every time.

When Abe Seimei was five years old, Ge Ye left the capital and returned to Shinta Forest.

Since he was a teenager, Abe Seimei has learned onmyoji from Kamo Tadayuki, a famous onmyoji in Heian-kyo.

Yu Zaoqian is not afraid of Onmyoji, nor is he worried about being exposed in front of others, but occasionally visits him.However, due to Tamamo-mae's bad temper, the relationship between the two is also up and down.

At Kamo Tadayuki's place, Abe Seimei also heard Kuwashima Hitomi.

After becoming a Great Onmyoji, when communicating with the land god Mikage, he also heard Hitomi Kuwashima.

In the mountainous area outside Kyoto, there is a famous wisteria shrine, the maiden Qingmei has strong spells, and there is a cold and powerful big tengu.When chatting with Ootengu, mentioning Hitomi Kuwashima, the other party's stern face unexpectedly softened.

Abe Seimei: "..."

This is really a celebrity in Heian-kyo.

Later, his human father, Abe Masaki, and his master Kamo Tadayuki passed away one after another.But as a half-demon, he, his mother, and uncle, still want to live on with the longing for the dead.

Perhaps this is the pain and helplessness of being a monster.

Over a hundred years have passed like this, and over time, Seimei Abe has gradually looked away.

What regrets to say...

Hitomi Kuwashima, this girl——

He really wants to see it.

In a sense, it may be his eldest aunt...

Abe Seimei was thinking about it, when suddenly, Yuzao looked up and looked outside the door.

Abe Seimei: "What's wrong?"

He had never seen Yu Zaoqian with such a dignified look.

Yu Zaoqian got up suddenly and walked outside.

……

***

The secret sect of Fox Village is still in its original position.

The layout of Fox Village has largely remained unchanged.

In 100 years, the human world may undergo earth-shaking changes.But monsters are different.

100 years go by and nothing will change.

After knocking the guard fox unconscious with the back of the knife, Hitomi Kuwashima walked inside.

Picking up one at random to read it, it has become a normal book... Also, Yuzao burned it long ago, how could he allow that kind of small X book to be left in the world.

Without the fox fire in front of Yuzao, the light in the cave was dim, and there was no abnormality after turning around.

strangeness……

Where is the problem.

Hitomi Kuwashima did not leave directly like before.

This may be the last chance to solve the mystery of Fox Village.

No matter how you want to try it.

She pulled out the sun blade.

——【Thunder's Breath·Two Shape·Rice Soul】

Golden bolts of lightning exploded in the cave, lighting it up brightly.

The sword light hit the bookshelf and the stone wall, making a loud crackling noise.

When it hit the deepest bookshelf, there was a sudden howl.

The bookshelf is bleeding out!

Accompanied by the black air, the bookshelf began to shake and twist in front of Hitomi Kuwashima, turning into countless undead creatures.

Hitomi Kuwashima sniffed.

This breath...is a ghost.

But they are not pure ghosts, they are mixed with the breath of monsters, judging from their appearance... they should be the "ghost foxes" mentioned by people in the capital!

Are there any remaining parts hidden here?

Thinking is only for a moment.Hitomi Sang Dao rushed forward, sword lights flashed one after another, those ghost foxes had their necks chopped off by the Rilun knife and disappeared.

When chopping at the last ghost fox, Hitomi Kuwashima froze.

"—Tu Shan?!"

"...You are still here."

Although Hitomi Sang Dao stopped, but because of the previous sword energy, Tu Shan was seriously injured. He looked at Hitomi Sang Dao, as if he didn't even have the strength to get angry and hate.

After becoming a ghost, I lose myself more and more.

"After more than 100 years, why are you okay..." Tu Shan murmured, "Forget it, you are a person beyond common sense..."

Hitomi Kuwashima: "What are you talking about?"

"And," she asked, "why did you become a ghost?"

Did Yuzao know about this?

"..." Tu Shan didn't answer, staring at her Rilundao, "Give me the last blow."

His eyes were gloomy, and there was no hope for life.

Realizing something, Hitomi Kuwashima put the sword back into its sheath: "No, after all, you are Yuzao's former friend. If it is not necessary, I can't easily attack you."

Tu Shan smiled sarcastically, "You cut off my two tails, is it still easy to do?"

"Didn't you ask for that?"

"……never mind."

"And didn't you say that if you pass the trial of love, you can become a nine-tailed man?" Hitomi Sangshima tilted his head to look at him, "You are still alive, which means you have passed the test. Then why don't you not have a nine-tailed man, but also become a nine-tailed man?" Ghost?"

Although Tu Shanwei has something to do with the blue Bana flower, his ghost transformation was not so severe before.

After a long silence, Tu Shan said, "I didn't pass."

"She... rejected me."

"..." Hitomi Kuwashima couldn't laugh or cry for a while.

After thinking about it, she could only say: "Congratulations."

To be honest, this food chain is equivalent to a ghost falling in love with a human, and she would not agree to it in her place.

Who knows if the other party will one day lust//desire and appetite come to mind together, and eat you up.

Tu Shan continued: "I once served the blue Bana flower, and with the monster power of the three tails, I could barely suppress the ghost transformation. After you cut off two of them, I gradually couldn't restrain myself. If the love robbery failed, it stands to reason that I would be struck by lightning Hit, it was wiped out, but this part of the ghost saved me instead. So..."

He looked at his body and laughed at himself: "I have become this ghost fox."

"..."

Hitomi Kuwashima didn't know what to say for a moment.

She knelt down: "I see that you seem to know a lot...won't you tell me?"

Originally thought that Tu Shan would directly reject her because of how disgusted she was, but the other party stared at her Sun Wheel Knife for a moment and said, "Okay."

"But there is one condition... After I tell you, you must use this sun wheel knife to finish me off."

"My life is meaningless. I don't want to live with this attitude anymore. But the sun won't kill me, and I have no face to see Yuzao." The reappearance of Hitomi Sang Dao gave Tu Shan hope, "It's up to you."

Hitomi Kuwashima nodded: "Okay."

Tu Shan: "I stopped Yuzao from being with you before, not because you are human, nor because I hate humans. If Yuzao's test object is other humans, it's okay, but only you can't..."

"why?"

"because……"

At the time when Hitomi Kuwashima traveled to Heian-kyo last time, one year ago.

When Tamamomae was 16 years old——

At that time, the Wisteria Shrine was also called Inari Shrine, and the priest was a fox fairy of the fox demon clan, half demon and half fox.Priest Inari is a very mature male, with high spiritual power, profound knowledge, and kindness.

And Yuzaoqian, with high demon power and born with nine tails, is the proud son of the fox demon clan.

The two are very good friends.

There is a priestess under Inari, who is young, maybe around 16 years old, but extremely powerful.Her most powerful shikigami is Daitengu.

In the process of going to the shrine many times to find friends, Tamamomae fell in love with the shrine maiden.

It is said that the beginning of emotion is the sound of the other party's flute.

But at this time, the blue Bana flower that grew silently became the source of all evils.

After realizing that eating the blue Bianhua flower and turning into a ghost fox can gain stronger power than a simple fox demon, some foxes in the clan have twisted their minds.

The cyan Bianhua, like a charming but deadly poison, almost infects the entire fox demon clan, and even tends to spread outward.

The gods decided to intervene.

Their method is simple and rude - to wipe out the whole clan.

In other words, kill all the fox monsters.

At this moment, only Priest Inari can have the right to speak in the God Realm.He begged the Great Country Lord hard, and finally got an ending that didn't have to be completely wiped out, but——all foxes that turned into ghosts in the clan must be wiped out, and the source must be found.

Then the priest killed himself.

Replace the whole family with one person.

This is also the purpose of the God Realm to weaken the power of the fox monster clan.After such a scandal, they can no longer trust these foxes.

Yuzao tried hard to persuade him, but the priest had made up his mind.

The god can't stop himself, and the only one who can kill him is the one with the same power as him——Tamamomae.

Others have no way of knowing how many times this pair of good friends quarreled and what kind of mood Yu Zaoqian was in.

One side is friends, the other side is family.

They are people who value ethnicity.

Tamazamo finally agreed.

On the night when everything was over, it was raining heavily in Heian-kyo, and the ice-blue foxfire was overwhelming and blazing.

Since then, Tamazamo has been given the title of "Killing God".

In front of Yuzao, he and the priests searched for the source and fought hard with the ghost fox. The big tengu of the little witch was seriously injured by the ghost fox and almost died. Fortunately, the spirit body still survived. Anma Mountain self-cultivation.

He is the little tengu a year later.Because of the serious injury, both spiritual power and memory dissipated.

As for the little witch, in order to protect human beings and find out the source of the ghost, she was killed by the ghost fox when she was alone in danger.

Fortunately, at that time, she had already calculated the source - the blue Bana flower.

It is said that when she died, there were large areas of blue flowers blooming around her, and when the wind blew, there was a burst of blue rain.

Lying in Yuzao's arms, she told him with her last strength to burn it.

Burn all the blue Bana flowers.

……

Thus, the fire completely burned the capital, the suburbs, and the demon world.

At the same time, it was raining heavily, but the fire and rain could not be extinguished, nor could it be saved by water, and it could not burn people or buildings... Even so, people in Heianjing were still in panic, looking at the nine people on the top of the city tower who looked down on all beings with extreme fear. tail sky fox.

Having lost both her friend and her lover, Yuzao stood tall on the roof of the imperial city, with nine huge tail shadows swaying in the burning clouds.

People who don't know the truth don't understand what kind of mood Tamazamae was at that time.

The rain fell on him, on his face.

It was the same as when Hitomi Kuwashima confronted Tsuji Muchan more than a year later.

The matter of the blue Bana flower was settled, but Tamamomae was still unwilling to give up on his lover from the bottom of his heart.

He made an extremely terrible decision for the demon.

——Take off one of her own tails, save the little witch's soul, and send her to reincarnation again.

Human beings are different from monsters. After re-entering reincarnation, they have to grow up again from the appearance of babies.

But it's okay.

A trace... even if there is only a trace, they may still have the possibility to meet again.

Tamamomae decided to wait.

But this move caused the elders in the clan to be furious.

Although there is only one tail, there is a world of difference between the eight tails and the nine tails!

Inari God is dead, and Nine-tailed Tamamo-mae is their last support, but he actually abandoned the ninth tail.

Or just for an insignificant woman? !

But fortunately, Tamazamae is now 16 years old, and there will be an Emotion Tribulation test two years later, if he passes, he can become Kyuubi again.

Therefore, in order to make Yuzaoqian survive the catastrophe of love, they erased all the memories of that priest, that woman, and that fire in Yuzaoqian.

It's impossible to put it on Nine-tailed Tamazao, but fortunately, it lacks a tail in front of Tamazao, and its demon power is greatly reduced.The great elder withdrew, and the rest of the elders joined forces to successfully erase Yuzao's former memory.

Moreover, they strictly forbid the surviving foxes in the clan to mention this matter again, and they will die immediately.

Tu Shan was the person they sent to monitor Yu Zaoqian.

Tu Shan couldn't forget Yu Zaoqian's reaction when he told Yuzaoqian that he was going to be friends with him.

"Friend?" The young and frivolous boy paused while holding the teacup, and frowned slightly, "It's better not to be like this. I don't need friends, and my friends will not end well."

Tu Shan: "Why? Did something happen?"

Put down the teacup in front of Yuzao.

"I do not remember."

In this way, a year passed without incident.

A year later, Hitomi Kuwashima, who came to kill ghosts by the master's order, arrived.

Hitomi Kuwashima: "Could it be..."

Tu Shan suddenly laughed.

"The fate between you and Yuzao is really true, nothing can stop it."
